Even his enemies who rejected him and denied his message admitted that Muhammad ﷺ was far from lying and hypocrisy, for he was truthful, just and righteous in all ways. They also appreciated his morality and superior character and therefore called him "Muhammad Al-Amîn” (Muhammad, the Trustworthy) ﷺ . Our master, mercy for all ﷺ blessed this world at such a time when Thulumât (darkness) of kufr (disbelief) was dominant. He ﷺ eliminated all sorts of superstitions, saved the world from darkness and ignorance with the lights of Îmân and Islâm and guided humanity to the path of genuine civilization by offering them the keys to happiness and prosperity in both worlds. Today, even many orientalists who have impartially studied the history of Islâm have felt obliged to admit the superior position, unmatched morals, and humane character of Muhammad ﷺ . Some have also admitted that he ﷺ is really the great mercy and the most eminent saviour for the whole humanity. They could not simply help admiring him. Thomas Carlyle, a famous Scottish philosopher, said in a work translated by Muhammad As’ad: "I like Muhammad ﷺ , for he is far from pretence... There happens not to be a human scale to weigh Muhammad ﷺ either, for he is too great and eminent to be weighed.”
